Thank you for checking that.

Trisquel 10 doesn't have pulse 14 yet (the latest Trisquel is used here
just as a yard stick for what many free software people may be running),
and the version it does have, 13.99 or something, indeed doesn't have
that feature. So I won't include the patch as is.

Can you make it work with the old, and admittedly clunky, method of
getting that information?
